Comments on: Your Commission, Should You Choose to Accept It (And We Do!) http://scienceprogress.org/2009/11/your-commission-should-you-choose-to-accept-it/ Tue, 13 Sep 2011 13:59:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Michael F. Sarabia http://scienceprogress.org/2009/11/your-commission-should-you-choose-to-accept-it/comment-page-1/#comment-6518 Michael F. Sarabia Wed, 02 Dec 2009 19:22:24 +0000 http://www.scienceprogress.org/?p=4927#comment-6518 It is about time. Remember when Congress found out that women were excluded from tests of anti-cancer drugs? Did you know that there was no Ethinc test for Diabetes Standards and "one size fits all" was merely assumed? Care to guess what group was selected to be the world standard? Yes, you are Right! This has led to painful amputations and lingering deaths of African and Mexican Minorities. An even greater assumption was made about the "Required" Blood Pressure standard that has led to lingering mental problems with minorites, and their support families. Only Nazi Germany could have adopted such inhuman procedures, which are now perfectly Legal. I am not the first to voice this objections, others, also without a voice on the matter have complained to no avail. It is all "According to legally accepted standards." And, lawyers defer to doctor specialists with their own obscure terms that only some can understand and none bother to determine the implications. Help! Some of my relatives are forever incarcerated in "nursing" homes, expensive homes. What do the rest do? I don't know, do you? It is about time.

The White House has yet to add it to its website, and doesn't include it with the online version of the press release. Is the Executive Order online anywhere?
